Cutting to the chase, the reason I picked this strange churro flavor (I can no longer see my images to quote the exact name because FT made them enormous) is because it was honestly the only one sold as "ice cream" that I could stomach (apart from vanilla bean, but I was looking for something a little more interesting). The shelves had also been seriously ravaged; the reason container #1 has a deformed lid is because it was the very last one; two other customers were eyeing it when I pounced). It tastes pretty much exactly as you'd expect (churro in ice cream form), which I have to admit was kind of unique (i.e. my taste buds had a "what on earth is this?" reaction).

In terms of quality, it's not offensive but those guys aren't in danger of winning any awards. The texture was on the soft side and a little crystalline (possibly due to shipping conditions). I'm certainly not complaining, though. It's an interesting diversion from the usual Moose Tracks, Butter Pecan (popular in the south), and Cookies & Cream flavors. And, I still derive pleasure from consuming it (I actually used to be a serious ice cream snob until I realized how much I loved ice cream...every brand under the sun deserves a chance to express itself and feel love...as long as it's able to legally call the product ice cream).
